dimension character size

Partimer,

You can also select the next higher-up "standard scale", from what DeltaCad generates in the view scale or just round that number up to the next whole number.

A good practice is to use a simple drawing scale, such as 1/4", 1/2", 1", etc., so that the drawing will fit on a printed page at that scale. In this particular case 1"=1' (12) scale would work nicely and the printed drawing can be easily measured using a scale rule, if needed and if other drawing parts (I.E dimension lines, text, etc.) don't cause it to shrink the printed drawing to make it fit the page.

Also, you should note that scale on the drawing for reference as well as draw horizontal and vertical scale reference lines (see attachment). You might also want to add those "Scale References" to your Symbols library for future use.

Note: If you create multiple views in your drawing, use Select to select a given view and then choose 'Print Selected...' to print each view on a separate sheet of paper.
